Beyond the classroom
While you are studying for your A levels, we encourage you to think about much more than your academic subjects.
Working alongside Habs Girls, we collaborate together to offer a wealth of opportunities to pursue your interests and develop new ones. These will help you to become a well-rounded individual, with plenty to offer university admissions tutors and future employers.

Music at Habs is outstanding. With our extensive ensemble line-up, you will have the opportunity to develop your musicality, whatever the genre. Ensembles large and small, professional and beginner, we cater for the very best musical talent and those just starting out.
